MOTUC Vacation Skeletor Project

Basically we will take a MOTUC figure and send it around the world to all the interested board members. Those members will take some pictures with the MOTUC figure then send it on the the next person. They will then post the pictures on the forum.

That's funny you mention this, TheFallen! When He-Ro was released, I was playing around with the idea of Flat-Stanleying him! I was going to create a short story-comic (which I already have in my head ) and everyone it was sent to would take pics of him in their local areas, and sign a little guest book thing. When he made it back, I'd finish the story off! I was just trying to figure out the logistics of it.

So, yeah, I'd be up for one of these!

Take part in Illumina Day! Let people know who she is and help get her in MOTUC.

This is an awesome idea! I was just thinking it'd be fun to see where everyone else lived. We all come from so many different places around the world and it would be interesting to sort of "sight see" via pictures. I'm totally in!

Does anyone like the idea of a Tourist He-Man that BCRDuke suggested? I might have props and/or a shirt he could wear..

EDIT: The more I think about it, I may have an extra He-Man that I could offer up for this. The idea would be lots of fun. I'm waiting for someone else to offer something better, but I'm down with the Tourist He-Man, or Tourist Skeletor! God knows I've got tons of Skeletors....

It would be kind of cool to have a custom of He-Man in tourist garb... like a Mo-Larr type shirt but with a flower/beach pattern, sunglasses, board shorts, and a suitcase lol

That would be awesome. I am laughing just thinking how it would look

I am in Australia so this thing would be world wide. I don't know if this statement is correct, but to me it seems there are way more International fans here than on some other boards.

I will have a spare Mo-Larr buck (no jacket) coming soon but I don't have very good customizing skills. I am quite willing to pay a fellow customizer to create our "Flat Stanley" if no one wants to volunteer their services.

There seems to be a fair bit of enthusiasm which is good. I will keep updating the first post as more people become interested. If you ever change your mind I can remove you from the list.

The only downside I can see is when it comes to delivering the figure to the next person so I have some questions to ask.

I have two "toothless" Skeletors, as well as a few others. Would Skelly in a beach shirt be funnier as the subject, or He-Man? Don't waste your Mo-Larr buck body on this since he was so expensive. I bought two, and I have a spare head of Mo-Larr which could be funny.

The fig should definitely be delivered in a box. The thread journal makes the most sense, because the idea is to post pics of him in various places.

I don't know how everyone else feels, but I'd prefer to just pay to ship to the next person. Each person paying for their own delivery sounds like a place where complication could get introduced and slow down the project. I dunno, maybe there's a way to do it, but just a thought.

And if it's a thread journal rather than hard copy, then it's a smaller lighter box to ship.

Yes! This! He's been in Snake Mountain, things never working out... he needs a vacation!

I thought the next person could pay delivery for the cases where the figure has to go to an International destination unless this is not really an issue for everyone.

Shipping a MOC figure from mattycollector to here costs me $10 so it shouldn't be much for a loose figure.

Maybe the thread will need to be changed to MOTUC Skeletor Vacation Project

As PrinceAdam101 has already asked, what figure does everyone want to use for this?
